Rossi wins 2015 Monza Rally

Valentino Rossi took his fourth victory at the Monza Rally Show, beating some of the world’s best car racers.

Each year the Monster Energy Monza Rally brings together a variety of famous racers from both two and four wheels. Previous winners have included rally legend Sebastien Loeb and former Formula 1 driver Robert Kubica. Many see the event as a sort of end of year party, but when racers are involved even the most casual of event becomes fiercely competitive. Once more Valentino Rossi showed his speed on both two and fours wheels to return to the top step of the podium again.

Entering the final day of the event with a lead of over 33 seconds, Rossi was confident with just the final two stages to go. Taking victory by over 50 seconds at the end, the Italian beat out current World Rally Championship stars such as Thierry Neuville and Motocross legend Tony Cairoli. Rossi and co-driver Carlo Cassina had previously won in 2006, 2007 and 2012 with their 2015 victory putting them equal with Capello Rinaldo in the all time winners list.

It was not just Rossi participating in the event, his great friend Uccio and Moto3™ race winner Romano Fenati also battled it out around the historic Monza track. Uccio managed fifth as Fenati was 69th on his Rally debut.
